WIP Wednesday & UFO Sunday (Dots on Dots D3)

You probably have noticed that I am a little behind on my posting this week (and today as well)! It is my new goal to post my UFO's/WIP's on Sunday and then my finishes on Friday morning. That gives me time in the middle to work on projects. I noticed that I was posting on Wednesday mornings, spending all my free time on Wednesday & Thursday trying to get something finished in time to post on Friday. This way I can also make sure to add in my stash report on Sundays as well. I want to show more projects in progress as I took the pledge last year to do so. Rushing around for a couple days doesn't offer a lot of picture taking opportunities or ways for me to look for your input to be honest. I have gotten some excellent feedback that has changed the projects I have worked on, but only if I share.

So this is where I am on my list from last week:

Jacob Ladder Quilt 1: Border & Back Added, Stitching and binding needed. I Made this terrific red scaled binding that line up perfectly on the shaped when connecting the strips together (I am so excited to show you this part--forgot pic).

Chain Quilt: Blocks completed and Trimmed; still unsure if this will be 1 or 2 quilts.

4 square City Weekend Project: Not sure if 4 separate pieces or one quilt yet.

I plan for nap times. I do the same aspect of many projects to save time. For example I will pin everything during morning nap, then stitch if there is time and then iron during the next nap, then trim and/or pin during her 30 minutes of self-play. Some days she takes no naps and we just sit together to chatter, lol!
